My bad, what linux distro you running?

Nice try Microsoft, I still don’t like your monthly “small” ui changes that hide the features I use and add extra “get copilot now” buttons
In the update settings she can reset her apt sources back to “default”. It’s not too hard and there’s a gui throughout the process (from memory).
The package conflicts is an interesting one, if you have the time to post one of these on lemmy I’m sure someone will suggest a fix. It’s probably a apt install --fix-broken
or something simple (hopefully) but I’m sure we could work it out.
Totally agree that these are annoying issues though. See if you can use Nala, it’s a TUI front end for Apt and it’s got some nice user changes like if you run upgrade it updates and upgrades. It also has a fetch feature which finds nearby sources, so you’re always downloading from the closest/fastest source.
Highly recommended Automate the Boring Stuff. It’d a free tutorial on YouTube and you learn things like printing, using numbers, then opening files and manipulating data. It’s useful straight away.
I recently bought a new wifi part with WiFi 6e capabilities, so my pc sits on a 6ghz bandwidth while all my other devices sit on 2.4 or 5ghz, so my internet speeds are great across all my devices.
Point being I have never felt it more urgent to donate to the Bill + Malinda Gates foundation and I think you should to! /s
git commit -m “if this doesn’t fix it I’m looking up availabilities at my nearest maccas”
I recommend this to everyone I meet in tech, it’s really good to learn linux and file system skills
Cyber security guy here: we care about 22 for SSH, 443 and 80 for Web traffic, 3389 for RDP and 21 for FTP. Everything else we google and we all have to google 21 and 3389 because we all forget them half the time anyway.

I mean how the community refers to him. I’ve never read a thread where someone called Linus a BDFL, I have with python. If they do, they do. Just haven’t seen it myself.
So I did miss that Linus is in the article, but the reference to him says he was awarded the title, which makes it sound like an honour rather than a hierarchical system. I don’t believe that he’s ever been anything other than the projects owner/founder but I’m happy to learn if I’m wrong.
Youre thinking of python I reckon -link to wikipedia
I work in cyber security. Loads of businesses will do all the cybersecurity stuff using a combination of tools on Azure and security OS’s like Kali and Parrot.

Not the shark fucker but could you send me the guide on how to do this? I would love to set this up. Also does it work for multiple accounts?
That sentence should probably read “on my first day of using Linux outside of a vm on bare metal with an installation I intended to keep”. I use Kali for security work and I used Manjaro once but it killed itself before I knew what I was doing.
Snaps are not very space efficient, I don’t need the same packages installed multiple times. In a desktop use case that’s a lot of repeating packages.
Because snaps aren’t the only feature the distro comes with. It’s widely versatile, commonly used, and this argument isn’t a good one. PopOS is good, so is ubuntu minus the snaps.
What about all the other pros of ubuntu?
Off the top of my head,
Other distros are good. PopOS is good. I chose Ubuntu mostly because it’s solid and stable but also because it has a wide community for help. I’m just getting tired of the narrative that ubuntu is totally crippled by its snaps. This is a linux distro, if I don’t like something I get to change it, which is actually cool. This isn’t windows where I have no control. Also, with snaps gone, I’ve literally never had a problem I haven’t caused. I have the approach of strip out what I don’t want. Arch users install what they do want. At the end of the day, we both are exploiting software we want to use to be productive. If I found myself fighting the os (like Mac or Windows) I’d switch but I don’t so I won’t.
Eyyyy, I’m on Mint!
